La Formica
La Formica is a winery in Veneto, in Italy's northeast, where the Alpine foothills and Adriatic influences shape distinctive wines. The region's signature red, Amarone della Valpolicella, emerges from dried Corvina and Rondinella grapes—a method that concentrates fruit into wines of depth and structure. La Formica's Amarone has earned a 90.0 average prestige rating from Wine Spectator. The winery also produces Valpolicella, a lighter expression of the same grapes blended with Corvinone, rated 87.0, and Soave, the region's white standard built on Garganega's mineral, crisp character at 86.0. These three wines anchor the portfolio and reflect Veneto's dual identity: rich, powerful reds from the hills and elegant, food-friendly whites from the plains.
